Our Process
How We Grow – Clean, Controlled, and Efficient
At GaiaVerde, growing food isn't just about farming – it's about precision, sustainability, and trust. Our state-of-the-art vertical farm uses next-generation technology to produce consistently fresh, safe, and pesticide-free crops, all year round.
Vertical Growth
Once sprouted, seedlings are moved to our climate-controlled grow room. Inside, plants grow in vertical towers using hydroponics – nutrient-rich water, no soil needed. Optimized LED lighting and exact climate control allow faster growth with 90% less water and minimal land use. The result? Clean, year-round farming unaffected by pests, drought, or storms.
